Nvidia 9500 GT

lol seems maybe you already fixed it somehow. I was a little skeptical, but since you say that...very possible.

Flickering and tearing in World of Warcraft. I've lowered the quality of the game to something the card should easily handle and enabled vertical sync. If I disable that the flickering/tearing is crazy and it crashes.

If I go full screen with Warcraft too it also flickers and tears. I did it just now and it said "Display Driver Nvidia 195.39 something kernel something stopped working but has successfully recovered.

I took a look and I think the

driver is some copy protection scheme.

Microsoft Windows Macrovision secdrv.sys driver buffer overflow Vulnerability

Ya, Macrovision drivers or anything even hinting at them is not allowed on any of my pcs. Pure junk.

A search and destroy is out for macrovision then :P

There's only 3 things on my PC that I could find when searching Macrovision.

2 x Manifests files and one file you told me to delete which it reinstalled it self after I deleted them because I had to do a startup recovery, which I didn't tell you about for some reason I don't have >_<

Been on warcraft now in windowed mode on a resolution of 1280x960 or whatever it is and i've had no flicker/tear so far.

Still pisses me off I can't run full screen.

I posted on the World of Warcraft forums about my issue. Someone said it's just simply my Graphics card overheating. Seeing as my card has 'Passive cooling' (Just a huge heat sink on it) I guess that's perhaps could be 'the' problem, Right?

I dunno about that. I have a 9500GT with a fan and I can't do ANYTHING graphical with it. Driving me nuts. Kind of wish I didn't upgrade yet.. Oops
